Chromium B.S.U. for Mac OS X

1. About

This is a quick and dirty port of the very nice vertical shooter Chromium B.S.U. to Mac OS X. The original homepage, including several screenshots, of this nice game can be found here.

2. Download

• Disk image with the game: Chromium B.S.U.dmg (2 MiB)
• Patches to Chromium, SDL and OpenAL to get it to compile under Mac OS X: Chromium-macosx-patches.tar.bz2 (1.7 MiB)

3. Warranty, support, ...

I will not provide support for this Mac OS X port of Chromium. I simply "ported" it because I wanted to play it, and wanted to share the result with others. If you can play it: great! If you can't: sorry, too bad.

The game has been tested under Mac OS X 10.3.7 on a Rev B dual G5/1.8 GHz with a Radeon 9600XT (128MB VRAM) and on a Powerbook 12"/867 MHz with an NVidia GeForce 420 Go (32 MB VRAM), and apart from the resolution switching above, there are no known problems.

If someone wants to continue this project and create a proper port: if you mail me the address of your website once you're finished, I will link through to you and remove my download.
